Unable to uninstall Norton to update Firefox.
In trying to upgrade Firefox it said to uninstall Norton. I have not subscribed to Norton for over two years now. In the Uninstall program, Norton will not uninstall. I have clicked both uninstall and change and nothing happens, therefore I am unable to download Norton to upgrade Firefox. There must be an alternative method to uninstall Norton.
You can use https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/kb20080710133834EN_EndUserProfile_en_us to remove Norton.
Then, please update Firefox to 19.0.2 [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
Then do the steps at [[Websites say that Firefox is outdated or incompatible even though it's the latest version]]

Unable to Uninstall, Install, nor Update iTunes
I'm seriously at my wits end with this, let me start by saying. Furthermore, it's rather disgraceful that virtually nobody helped me with this issue the last time I posted it. Regardless of such, back to the matter at hand.
I have been trying for months--MONTHS--to get some kind of progress on this. I am running on Windows 8, 64-Bit.
Every time I attempt to update iTunes from the Apple Software Update dock, it nears completion...then an exclamation mark in a red circle appears near both downloads, one after the other, and ultimately fails.
Yes, I HAVE attempted the "Download Only" button. Yes, I HAVE attempted uninstalling from the Control Panel, which leads to the biggest problem in that I can't remove the blasted program from there. I click uninstall, it blinks the "starting" box for a second, then nothing. So, I attempt through the "change" option, only to recieve the message that a problem occured during INSTALLATION. As this is Windows 8, the CleanUp Utility from before and Mr. FixIt both fail to install. So, I finally got ahold of Revo Uninstaller, and after that finally turned something up, it stated that the installation package was missing.
I've searched my computer for iTunes64.msi. It shows up in Regedit--but nowhere else. Speaking of, yes, I have tried the various Regedit sugessions of WOW 64 value changing and such. I've also granted permissions to Everyone on every Apple related file on my computer.
I repeat, I am running on Windows 8 64-Bit.
And please, please do not link me to Apple's site and suggest running from IE or Firefox, I have already tried that--and Google Chrome is my default browser for all, so I've tried from here, too.
I've looked around, and this seems not an entirely uncommon problem. However, none of the discussions bearing the same kinds of symptoms seem to ever be addressed. When iTunes NEEDS to be updated in order to sync with my iPod at all, this is nothing short of a crippling technical error.
Someone, anyone give me something to work with; this is nothing short of infuriating at this point.For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
(There is also a link to the specific FixIt tool referred to above.)

Unable to uninstall or to update Adobe Acrobat reader:
Use the Microsoft Windows Installer CleanUp Utility to remove corrupted registry entries.
To remove Adobe Acrobat reader, download Microsoft Clean Up Utility and install it:
Here's the download link.
The Microsoft Windows Installer CleanUp Utility only removes registry entries created by the application installer. Files and other registry entries for the application are not removed by this utility and could cause inadvertent effects on the system if not removed.
* When it is installed, pull down the menu Start and Programs , and click on Windows Install Clean Up to launch it.
* In the list, select Adobe Reader (/!\ be careful : nothing else ), click on Remove then click on Exit and restart your computer.
You can follow the above steps for the Error "1635: This patch package could not be opened" -- Acrobat and Adobe ReaderI have downloaded and installed this utility. It doesn't appear on the Start/Programs list although it is on the Add/Remove programs list and appears to uninstall normally.
I couldn't get it to work. This download is from a non-Microsofy source, Seagull Scientific Inc who appear to be repuytable, but I would advise caution.
Edit:
Ok, now I got it fixed. I have dual screen setup and had the second screen switched off - the Start/Programs menu was overflowing to the second screen and the program was listed at the end.
I ran it and it solved my problem. Thanks! -
Recently I updated my Firefox. At that time, Norton online backup downloaded with Firefox, tho I never saw a request for my permission. I would never have granted it because I know Norton to be a big system hog.
My browser has been unbelievably slow since, and I am unable to uninstall Norton. I get msg: uninstall server not working properly.
Any help available?Where did you download that "new copy of Firefox" from? <br />
Mozilla has nothing to do with any Norton / Symantec product. In fact Firefox as a backup service (of sorts) built right in to Firefox, called Sync. <br />

Hello,
I went to upgrade my version of Firefox and was able to download the newer version, but when I went to install it, the system asked if I wanted to replace the old with the new (the only option given), and when I said 'yes' the system popped up with "you are unable to do this because you have insufficient privileges." Not sure what that means. I have been able to download other things just fine.If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Since updating Firefox browser, i am unable to gain access to my yahoo email account. I can access the email with Interent Explorer with no trouble. Whenever I click on a mail link on the yahoo sites to check my mail, I get rerouted to an error page ..... "Sorry, we can't find "ca.mg4.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.gx=1". Please check the spelling of the web address." is what is said at top of page whenever I click on any mail links.
This is how I fixed it on my new iPhone 5S. Using the standard yahoo setting on my phone.
You will have to access "managing your app passwords" on your account profile for yahoo. Generate password for your app. For example: "My iPhone 5S'
Go to your Iphone and set up your yahoo mail account on your phone the normal way and you have to use the generated password. instead of the yahoo account password.

I hope this helps,

After I updated firefox to 6.0 today firefox has developed a problem loading multiple tabs. When I try to load 10+ tabs, either at the same time or by opening each tab separately, each tab is stuck trying to connect to the desired page. This continues if I close all the tabs and try to load a single page, the single page is unable to get pass connecting. In order to load a new page when this situation arises I must close down firefox and start again, and the program has no history of the previous session.

Question
I have a MacBook and I am unable to successfully update Firefox. I click "Update Firefox" and it's starts updating but never completes the process. I sometimes leave it for hours and it's still updating! It's almost as if something is blocking it ffrom completing the process. Please helpNext time an app update gets stuck try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons for10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own. Try now. Also YouTube is still available. If you can't find it the the app store go to the bottom of the app store page and tap purchased. All your deleted apps will be listed and you can reinstall YouTube from there.

I am unable to apply my downloaded update. When I try to apply it and restart firefox, it still says 'apply downloaded update now...'. Why can't I apply this update and what do I do about it?
Checked out that link and everything seems to be in order on this machine at this time.
I only have CC installed on this one machine, not even my secondary machine like is permitted. it seems odd that I'm asked to re-accept the Licence Agreement as often as I am. If I had to guess, it's almost every week, if not multiple times some weeks, that all the software will decide I should have to view the licence agreement.
Edit: I've never had any noticeable "errors" activating or anything like that. I just get asked to do it quite frequently.
This activation screen isn't too annoying (it involves clicking one single button), but like I stated earlier, if I'm trying to launch the software by double-clicking on a PSD, AI, PPROJ, AEP, etc... that file will fail to open.
I feel like that's probably not really a bug, but it is frustrating, since I did launch the application with the intent to edit that specific file I tried to open.
Again, something that you guys may consider working on.
Another annoyance is that: agreeing to the licence agreement is a per-application task, so if I see that Licence Agreement dialogue window by opening Photoshop (for example), I know that every other piece of software I have in the suite (Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, Audition) will be showing me that screen on it's next launch. Probably deliberate for legal purposes that I can't just agree once for the whole suite, but heck, it would save me a lot of minor headaches if it was a unified agreement.
